Synthesized from 12 parallel investigation agents covering each FR subsystem (CircuitFlags, tracer CPU state, FieldOp instruction, FieldRegEvent stream, field instructions, jolt-riscv structs, R1CS rows, FR Twist scaffolding, 3-sumcheck chain, bn254-fr SDK, examples, audit fixes). Captures: dependency graph, 5-phase execution plan, per-step new-base touchpoints, aggregate scope (~4,300 LOC hand-written + ~1,500 LOC regenerated), realistic time estimate (12-16h), commit plan (16 commits), key risks, and per-phase validation gates.
Extends `jolt_riscv::CircuitFlags` with: IsFieldMul, IsFieldAdd, IsFieldSub, IsFieldInv, IsFieldAssertEq, IsFieldMov, IsFieldSLL64, IsFieldSLL128, IsFieldSLL192 Verbatim port of 75fbe61 onto the modular stack. `NUM_CIRCUIT_FLAGS` auto-bumps via `strum::EnumCount`; `CircuitFlagSet(u16)` capacity unchanged (23 still fits u16). Downstream `[bool; 14]` hardcodes propagated to `[bool; 23]` across jolt-witness, jolt-kernels, jolt-verifier, bolt-emit, plus `RV64_NUM_CIRCUIT_FLAGS` in jolt-kernels stage1. `stage1_rv64_flags` and `stage6_circuit_flags` extended with the 9 new flag accesses. The parallel `jolt_core::zkvm::instruction::CircuitFlags` enum on the legacy backend is intentionally unchanged — the FR coprocessor is modular-only, and the legacy R1CS shape needs no extension. Validated: muldiv prove 2.1s / verify 0.17s / valid:true; bolt commitment_ir regen-output check passes.
Extends `tracer::emulator::cpu::Cpu` with:
- `pub const FIELD_REG_COUNT: usize = 16`
- `pub struct FieldRegEvent { cycle_index, slot, old: [u64;4], new: [u64;4] }`
- `pub field_regs: [[u64; 4]; FIELD_REG_COUNT]` (natural-form limbs)
- `pub field_reg_events: Vec<FieldRegEvent>`
Both `Cpu::new` and `save_state_with_empty_memory` initialize/propagate
the new fields. No instructions consume them yet — those arrive with
FieldOp / FMov / etc. in subsequent this work commits.
Pure additive change; tracer + transitive consumers compile.
Adds the BN254 Fr native-field coprocessor's R-type instruction to the
tracer. Opcode 0x0B (custom-0) funct7 0x40 now routes to a dedicated
`FieldOp` variant in the Instruction/Cycle enums; funct7 != 0x40 still
falls through to INLINE.
- `tracer/src/instruction/field_op.rs` — 346 LOC: struct, decode/encode
helpers, `RISCVTrace::trace` impl that emits one `FieldRegEvent` per
cycle, and `NormalizedInstruction` round-trip. funct3 ∈ {0x02 FMUL,
0x03 FADD, 0x04 FINV, 0x05 FSUB}.
- `tracer/src/instruction/mod.rs` — register `field_op` module + bring
`FieldOp` into scope for `define_rv64imac_enums!`. Decode arm split:
`0b0001011` now matches funct7 and routes 0x40 to `FieldOp::new`.
- `crates/jolt-riscv/src/lib.rs` — append `FieldOp` to
`for_each_instruction_kind!` (auto-produces the kind variant via
`define_instruction_kind!`).
- `crates/jolt-riscv/src/kind.rs` — register `JoltInstructionKind::FieldOp`
in `has_side_effects` (mutates field-reg file + emits event).
- `tracer/Cargo.toml` — add `ark-bn254` (scalar_field) + `ark-ff` deps.
`NormalizedInstruction::From<FieldOp>` sets the new
`instruction_kind: JoltInstructionKind::FieldOp` (required field on
the modular base). Round-trip via `From<NormalizedInstruction>` loses
funct3 (no slot); defaults to FMUL — same limitation as the FR branch.
Validated: muldiv prove 2.2s / verify 0.18s / valid:true.
Adds `take_field_reg_events` accessor on `Emulator` /
`CheckpointingTracer`, and extends `tracer::trace(..)` from 5-tuple to
6-tuple: appends `Vec<cpu::FieldRegEvent>` drained from
`cpu.field_reg_events` after tracing.
Downstream tuple-destructuring updated everywhere `tracer::trace` is
consumed:
- tracer/src/lib.rs (test harness × 2)
- tracer/src/execution_backend.rs::TracerBackend::trace
- jolt-core/src/guest/program.rs::Program::trace and free fn `trace`
(wrapper return type also extended)
- jolt-core/src/host/program.rs::Program::trace
- jolt-core/src/zkvm/prover.rs prove pipeline
All consumers currently `_field_reg_events` the new field — the
modular SDK driver will consume it in a later phase to materialize
`FieldRegConfig.events` for the FR Twist witness. Pure additive
tuple extension; no behavior change for guests that don't emit
FieldOp / FMov cycles.
Validated: muldiv prove 2.2s / verify 0.17s / valid:true.
Adds the 5 single-cycle field instructions that round out the BN254 Fr ISA beyond FieldOp (FMUL/FADD/FSUB/FINV): - FieldAssertEq (funct7=0x40, funct3=0x06) - FieldMov (funct7=0x40, funct3=0x07) — integer→field on-ramp - FieldSLL64 (funct7=0x41, funct3=0x00) - FieldSLL128 (funct7=0x41, funct3=0x01) - FieldSLL192 (funct7=0x41, funct3=0x02) Decode arm at opcode 0x0B splits funct3 inside funct7=0x40 (FieldOp default, 0x06 → AssertEq, 0x07 → Mov) and adds a funct7=0x41 SLL sub-family path. Each instruction registers its JoltInstructionKind, emits exactly one FieldRegEvent, and respects the single-access invariant. Validated: muldiv e2e (host) + 11 tracer field_* unit tests.
Adds typed per-instruction structs under crates/jolt-riscv/src/instructions/field/
mirroring the existing i/m/a/virt layout:
- FieldOp — funct3 selects FMUL/FADD/FSUB/FINV at runtime (static flags
left empty; this work will wire funct3-dispatched IsFieldMul/
Add/Sub/Inv from the witness-gen path)
- FieldAssertEq — circuit flag IsFieldAssertEq
- FieldMov — circuit flag IsFieldMov
- FieldSLL64 — circuit flag IsFieldSLL64
- FieldSLL128 — circuit flag IsFieldSLL128
- FieldSLL192 — circuit flag IsFieldSLL192
Wires each new struct into:
- instructions/mod.rs re-exports
- LookupInstruction enum + TryFrom<NormalizedInstruction> dispatch
- impl_jolt_instructions_flags! Flags fan-out
Widens CircuitFlagSet from u16 → u32 to hold 23 flags (was 14). Downstream
.bits() consumers in jolt-core/jolt-kernels work as-is since they only use
`bits() & (1 << index)`.
Validated: muldiv e2e (host) + 12 jolt-riscv tests + clippy clean.
New jolt-inlines/bn254-fr/ crate exposes the 9 BN254 Fr coprocessor intrinsics that emit R-type asm for opcode 0x0B (funct7 0x40/0x41): - fmul/fadd/fsub/finv (FieldOp variants, funct3 0x02-0x05) - field_assert_eq (funct3 0x06) - field_mov (funct3 0x07, I→F low-limb) - field_sll64/128/192 (funct7 0x41, I→F shift-left-N onto limb 1/2/3) Guest-side: `.4byte`-encoded R-type instructions emitted as inline asm. Host-side (`--features host`): `FieldRegFile` facade computing the same semantics over ark-bn254 Fr for tests and host tooling that wants to mirror the FR register file without going through the tracer. Validated: 4 host FieldRegFile tests + muldiv e2e + clippy clean.
R1CS shape change for the BN254 Fr coprocessor. Adds 9 Fr flag slots
(36..=44) and 3 Fr virtual operand slots (45..=47) to the per-cycle
witness, shifts V_BRANCH 36→48 and V_NEXT_IS_NOOP 37→49, and bumps:
- NUM_R1CS_INPUTS: 35 → 47
- NUM_VARS_PER_CYCLE: 38 → 50 (still rounds to 64 padded)
- NUM_EQ_CONSTRAINTS: 19 → 32
- NUM_CONSTRAINTS_PER_CYCLE: 22 → 35
The 13 new eq-conditional rows (19–31) gate Fr semantics on the
per-op flags:
19: IsFieldAdd · (RD − RS1 − RS2) = 0
20: IsFieldSub · (RD − RS1 + RS2) = 0
21: IsFieldAssertEq · (RS1 − RS2) = 0
22: IsFieldMov · (RD − V_RS1_VALUE) = 0
23: IsFieldSLL64 · (RD − V_RS1_VALUE · 2^64) = 0
24: IsFieldSLL128 · (RD − V_RS1_VALUE · 2^128) = 0
25: IsFieldSLL192 · (RD − V_RS1_VALUE · 2^192) = 0
26: IsFieldMul · (RD − RS1 − RS2) ← placeholder; FR Twist binds product
27: IsFieldInv · (RD − RS1) ← placeholder; FR Twist binds inverse
28: (1 − Σfr_flags) · V_FIELD_RS1 = 0
29: (1 − Σtwo_input_flags) · V_FIELD_RS2 = 0
30: (1 − Σwrite_flags) · V_FIELD_RD = 0
31: IsFieldMov · V_FIELD_RS2 = 0
this work will tighten rows 26/27 once the FR Twist sumchecks land.
Until this work populates Fr witness, every flag is zero so every new
row trivially satisfies — confirmed by `noop_satisfies_constraints`.
New `row_bigcoeff` + `Coef::Pow2 { exp, sign }` helper builds row
coefficients with exponents ≥ 128 via repeated 2^64 multiplication
(neither i128 nor u128 holds 2^128 / 2^192 directly).
Validated:
- 16/16 jolt-r1cs unit tests (incl. new `shape_invariants` and
`pow2_to_field_matches_repeated_doubling`)
- muldiv e2e (host) — Fr rows inert, all original constraints intact
- bolt::commitment_ir 53/53 at new R1CS shape
- clippy -D warnings across jolt-r1cs / jolt-kernels / jolt-host
Lays the witness-side scaffolding for the BN254 Fr coprocessor. The
MLIR oracle family stays dormant in this phase (`field_reg_d = 0`,
gated everywhere) — that switch flips in this work once the FR Twist
sumchecks produce the source claims those openings reference.
What ships here:
- New `crates/jolt-witness/src/field_reg.rs` (~200 LOC + 5 unit tests):
- `FrLimbs([u64; 4])` — natural-form 256-bit Fr operand
- `FrCycleData { rs1_pre, rs2_pre, rd_post, rd_index, rd_written }`
- `FieldRegEvent` mirror of the tracer's event record
- `replay_field_regs(events, trace_len) -> Vec<FrCycleData>`
- `sub_limbs` — borrow-aware 256-bit subtraction for FSUB
- `FIELD_REG_COUNT = 16`, `LOG_K_FR = 4`
- `CycleInput` widened:
- `NUM_DENSE_TRACE_COLUMNS: 2 → 3` (added `field_reg_inc`)
- `NUM_ONE_HOT_TRACE_SOURCES: 3 → 4` (added `field_reg_indices`)
- `DENSE_*` / `ONE_HOT_*` slot constants replace inline indices
- `CommitmentTraceSources` carries `field_reg_inc` + `field_reg_indices`
- `dense_cycle_source` / `one_hot_cycle_source` accept the new names
- `cycle_input()` in jolt-kernels fills the FR slots with zeros on
every non-FR cycle (inert default)
- `JoltProtocolParams` gains `field_reg_log_k = 4` and `field_reg_d`:
- this work pins `field_reg_d = 0`. `num_committed`, the oracle list,
`oracle_recipe`, and the MLIR emit ops all branch on `field_reg_d
> 0`, so the inert path is byte-identical to the pre-Phase-3
shape (commitment_ir 53/53 still green).
- The schema attrs `field_reg_log_k`/`field_reg_d` are written on
every protocol module, so this work just bumps `field_reg_d` and
the consumers in `phases/commitment.rs` + `emit/rust/commitment.rs`
pick up the new oracles via the recipe table.
Validated:
- 24/24 jolt-witness tests (incl. 5 new `field_reg::tests::*`)
- muldiv e2e (host)
- bolt::commitment_ir 53/53
- clippy -D warnings across jolt-witness / jolt-r1cs / jolt-kernels / bolt
Self-contained execution plan for the next session to land this work — Stage 3 FieldRegClaimReduction (mirror of RegistersClaimReduction). Documents: - this work–3 state and currently-green validation gates - The this work bookkeeping debt (stage1's R1CS_INPUT_ORACLES still at 35 entries) that must be fixed before 4a, as Step 0 - All seven RegistersClaimReduction touchpoints across kernel, MLIR builder, and emit code, with exact line ranges - FR mirror naming table (Registers* ↔ FieldReg*) - Four critical differences (factor type, source wiring, eq point, non-FR gating) with bridge code - Verified constants reference (R1CS slot indices, FR module surface, params fields) - Test-fixture asserts that need bumping when `field_reg_d` flips - Out-of-scope items (Stage 4 FieldRegRW + Stage 5 ValEval defer to 4c/4b) - ~3hr effort estimate broken down by substep, gate cycles, commit plan - Resume command for the next session's first prompt Lets a fresh context window pick up exactly where this one left off without re-reading the this work–3 history.
Extend the hardcoded R1CS_INPUT_ORACLES list in the Stage 1 MLIR builder to cover the 12 oracles introduced by this work (9 V_FLAG_IS_FIELD_* flag slots and 3 V_FIELD_* operand slots), and thread the new names through both rv64 evaluators (typed + R1CS-backed) plus the r1cs_oracle_variable lookup. Inert in this work — FR operand columns evaluate to 0 until the FR Twist witness lights up. Regen Stage 1 prover/verifier goldens (count 35 → 47). Bumped commitment_ir test fixtures (count = 47, opening_claims.len = 48).
Mirror Stage 3 RegistersClaimReduction as a parallel FieldReg sumcheck: γ-batched eq · (FieldRdWriteValue + γ·FieldRs1Value + γ²·FieldRs2Value). Math is identical to Registers, so the new state reuses `SumOfProductsKind::Registers` — only the eq point and factor source differ. Kernel side (`jolt-kernels/src/stage3.rs`): - Add `Stage3Relation::FieldRegClaimReduction`, `Stage3KernelAbi::FieldRegClaimReduction`, registry test entries - Extend `Stage3Cycle` with `is_field_op`, `field_rs1/rs2/rd: [u64; 4]` (zero in this work — populated by this work+ from FR event replay) - Add `field_reg_state`, `field_reg_factors`, `expected_field_regs`, `fr_limbs_to_field` bridge (LE u64 limbs → Fr via from_le_bytes_mod_order) - Wire prover + verifier dispatchers MLIR builder (`bolt/.../phases/stage3.rs`): - `FIELD_REG_CLAIM_REDUCTION_DEGREE = 2` - `STAGE3_FIELD_REG_INPUTS = [FieldRdWriteValue, FieldRs1Value, FieldRs2Value]` - New `jolt.stage3.field_reg_claim_reduction` relation - 3 new opening inputs from stage1 (FieldRs1/Rs2/RdWriteValue) - `stage3.field_reg.gamma` transcript squeeze + gamma2 derivation - New sumcheck claim, instance result, output openings (3) - `stage3.field_reg_claim_reduction.instance` (index 3) Emit (`bolt/.../emit/rust/stage3.rs`): - ABI dispatch arm - Generated `expected_field_regs` template Plus kernel-spec resolve dispatcher in stage1 phases for `jolt.stage3.field_reg_claim_reduction`. Gates: - commitment_ir 53/53 ✅ - muldiv e2e ✅ - clippy clean ✅
this work is committed (bb52f9782). The standalone runbook was a one-shot truth for the FR coprocessor port.
Lays down the dormant scaffolding for Stage 4 FieldRegRW. The kernel
function and MLIR relation/oracle/opening-input declarations are in
place but NOT yet activated in the batched sumcheck — the new relation
is unreachable from any plan, so commitment_ir and muldiv stay green.
Kernel side (`jolt-kernels/src/stage4.rs`):
- `Stage4Relation::FieldRegRW` + `Stage4KernelAbi::FieldRegRW` variants
with `jolt.stage4.field_reg_rw` / `jolt_stage4_field_reg_rw` symbols
- `Stage4FieldRegWitness` struct (field_reg_count, trace_len, 5 polys)
- `Stage4ProverInputs.field_reg: Option<Stage4FieldRegWitness>` slot +
`with_field_reg` builder
- `field_reg_rw_state` (mirror of `registers_read_write_state` for the
Dense path; sparse phase-segmented path deferred to this work)
- `field_reg_dense_state` (5-factor γ-batched dense state, same shape
as `registers_dense_state`)
- `expected_field_reg_rw` verifier closed-form
- Dispatchers in `Stage4ProverInstanceState::new` and
`expected_batched_output_claim`
MLIR builder (`bolt/.../phases/stage4.rs`):
- `FIELD_REG_RW_DEGREE = 3` constant
- `STAGE4_FIELD_REG_INPUTS` / `STAGE4_FIELD_REG_OUTPUTS` arrays
- `jolt.stage4_field_reg_rw_domain` (log_size = field_reg_log_k + log_t)
- FR virtual oracles + committed FrdInc
- `jolt.stage4.field_reg_rw` relation declaration
- 3 new opening inputs from Stage 3's FieldReg outputs (sourced from
`stage3.field_reg_claim_reduction.opening.{FieldRs1,FieldRs2,FieldRdWrite}Value`)
- `stage4_field_reg_rw_rounds` helper + `stage4_output_count` extended
NOT YET WIRED (next commit):
- `stage4.field_reg_rw.gamma` transcript squeeze
- Field-expression chain for the claim_expr
- FR sumcheck claim + instance result + output openings in the batched
sumcheck builder
- Emit template ABI/verifier dispatch + raw-string `expected_field_reg_rw`
- KernelSpec resolve arm in `phases/stage1.rs`
- Stage 4 witness pipeline providing inert zero FR polynomials
- Goldens regen + commitment_ir fixture bumps
The unused-field warnings on the 3 new FieldReg opening inputs are
guarded with `#[expect(dead_code, reason = "consumed by this work FR
Twist wiring")]` so clippy stays green.
Gates:
- cargo clippy -p jolt-witness -p jolt-r1cs -p jolt-kernels -p bolt

- cargo nextest run -p jolt-core muldiv --features host ✅
Threads the FR γ challenge into `Stage4BatchedSumcheckInputs`. Still dormant — the gamma isn't yet consumed by a claim_expr (next commit adds the field-expression chain + sumcheck claim + instance + output openings). `#[expect(dead_code)]` keeps clippy green until 4c.2 activates the batched FR claim.
Captures the precise FR Twist protocol details verified against feat/fr-coprocessor-v2's f37f9a9 commit (P1 cycle / P2 address phases, ScalarCapture transition, first_active_round = log_k_reg - LOG_K_FR = 3). For inert muldiv the 2-phase segmented logic collapses to a single dense pass (already implemented). The remaining MLIR + emit + witness wiring is enumerated step-by-step. Delete once this work lands.
Wires the dormant FR Twist sumcheck into Stage 4 as a third instance alongside RegistersReadWrite + RamValCheck, mirroring the source `feat/fr-coprocessor-v2` (commit f37f9a9) protocol shape: eq · frd_wa · (field_reg_val + frd_inc) + γ · eq · frs1_ra · field_reg_val + γ² · eq · frs2_ra · field_reg_val The FR instance enters the batched sumcheck at round_offset = register_log_k - field_reg_log_k = 3 (skipping the first 3 address rounds, since LOG_K_FR=4 < log_k_reg=7) and runs for log_t + field_reg_log_k rounds total. Layered changes: - MLIR phase: FR claim_expr (γ-batched 3 factors), sumcheck claim with `jolt.stage4.field_reg_rw` relation on `jolt.stage4_field_reg_rw_domain`, 5 output openings (FieldRegVal/FrRs1Ra/FrRs2Ra/FrdWa virtual + FrdInc committed), ordered_claims updated to 3 entries. - Kernel: `normalize_stage4_field_reg_rw_point` (parallel to the registers normalizer but address rounds = `point.len() - cycle_rounds` rather than from `round_schedule[1]`, since FR has fewer address rounds than registers). Dispatcher arm for `"stage4_field_reg_rw"` point order. - Emit template: ABI dispatch arm, verifier relation dispatch, `expected_field_reg_rw` reusing the cycle-point normalize. - KernelSpec resolve dispatcher: `jolt.stage4.field_reg_rw` arm. - Witness wiring: `Stage45SparseTraceWitness` carries pre-allocated zero buffers (`fr_zeros_k_t` length 16·T, `fr_zeros_t` length T); `with_stage45_sparse_trace_witness` attaches an inert `Stage4FieldRegWitness` so the FR sumcheck collapses to zero claims for FR-inactive programs (muldiv et al). FR-active replay lands in - Goldens regenerated; commitment_ir fixture bumps (kernels 3→4, steps 4→5, claims 2→3, instance_results 2→3, evals 7→12, opening_inputs 8→11, field_exprs 9→14, point_slices 2→3, opening_claims 7→12, ordered_claims includes FR). Gates: commitment_ir 53/53; muldiv host green; clippy clean on jolt-witness/jolt-r1cs/jolt-kernels/bolt. jolt-core parity divergence (`bolt_stage2_*_matches_jolt_core`, `_self_parity`) is pre-existing and expected per the FR-port protocol (R1CS column set differs from unmodified jolt-core).
Wires the FR Val Evaluation sumcheck into Stage 5 as a fourth instance alongside InstructionReadRaf + RamRaClaimReduction + RegistersValEvaluation, mirroring the source `feat/fr-coprocessor-v2` (commit f37f9a9) protocol shape: frd_inc · frd_wa_at_addr · LT(cycle_point) The FR Val Evaluation consumes the `stage4.field_reg_rw.opening.FieldRegVal` point published by this work. The cycle phase from that point drives the LT polynomial; the address phase (LOG_K_FR=4) gathers `frd_wa[address * T + cycle]` against eq(address). Instance lives at round_offset = instruction_log_k, point_arity = log_t, point_order = "reverse" — same shape as RegistersValEvaluation. Layered changes: - MLIR phase: new relation `jolt.stage5.field_reg_val_evaluation`, Stage4-sourced opening input `stage5.input.stage4.field_reg.FieldRegVal`, sumcheck claim (4th entry), 2 output openings (FrdInc committed + FrdWa virtual on FR domain, point = [field_reg_address, cycle]). - Kernel: Stage5Relation::FieldRegValEvaluation + Stage5KernelAbi variant, Stage5FieldRegValWitness, Stage5ProverInputs.field_reg_val slot + with_field_reg_val builder, `field_reg_val_evaluation_state` (degree-3 dense kernel: frd_inc × frd_wa_at_addr × lt), `frd_wa_at_field_reg_address` gatherer, `expected_field_reg_val_evaluation`, dispatch arms. `with_stage45_sparse_trace_witness` attaches an inert zero witness from the Stage45SparseTraceWitness FR buffers. - Emit template: ABI dispatch + verifier relation dispatch + `expected_field_reg_val_evaluation` (suffix-of-stage4 cycle point, reverse(local) reduced point, LT eval). - KernelSpec resolve dispatcher: `jolt.stage5.field_reg_val_evaluation` arm. - Goldens regenerated; commitment_ir fixture bumps (stage5 kernels 4→5, claims 3→4, instance_results 3→4, opening_inputs 8→9, evals and opening_claims +2, point_slices +1, point_concats +1). Gates: commitment_ir 53/53; muldiv host green; clippy clean on jolt-witness/jolt-r1cs/jolt-kernels/bolt.
Portable software-Fr Poseidon2 BN254 t=3 permutation example, ported verbatim from `feat/fr-coprocessor-v2` commit 11fd625 (the arkworks variant — no FR coprocessor in guest, just stock `ark_bn254::Fr` arithmetic). Mirrors the existing muldiv example's host-side pattern (compile_*, prove_*, verify_*) with `#[jolt::provable(backend = "modular", ...)]` on the guest entry point. HorizenLabs Poseidon2 BN256 parameters: d=5, R_F=8, R_P=56, t=3, MDS_int diag=[1,1,2]. Trace ceiling clamped to 262_144 (= 2^18) to stay within the goldens- baked fixture limit. Source's 4_194_304 ceiling targets log_t=22 which the current modular-sdk fixture ladder doesn't yet support. When 5b lands real FR replay materializers, the SDK variant will measure ~7× fewer cycles than this baseline. poseidon2-sdk variant; the inert FR sumchecks landed in 4b/4c.2 remain trivially satisfied (all FR polys zero). Gates: clippy clean on the new crates, host binary builds.
Adds the foundational materializer types in jolt-witness that turn a
FieldRegEvent stream + per-cycle bytecode metadata into the five FR Twist
polynomials consumed by Stage 4 (FieldRegRW) and Stage 5
(FieldRegValEvaluation):
- FrCycleBytecode { frs1, frs2, frd, reads_frs1, reads_frs2 } —
per-cycle bytecode snapshot; mirrors the source-branch
feat/fr-coprocessor-v2 commit 06a7898 shape with frd added.
- FieldRegReplay { num_cycles, bytecode, events } + ::empty(t) helper.
- materialize_field_reg_val<F>(): K_FR × T running register-file state,
encoded via limbs_to_field.
- materialize_frs1_ra<F>() / materialize_frs2_ra<F>(): K_FR × T one-hot
reads gated by FrCycleBytecode.reads_frs{1,2}.
- materialize_frd_wa<F>(): K_FR × T one-hot writes drawn from the event
stream (matches FrdInc commit shape — single write per cycle).
- materialize_frd_inc<F>(): T-length write delta `rd_post - val_pre@slot`,
zero on non-writing cycles.
- limbs_to_field<F>([u64; 4]): natural-form a0 + a1·2^64 + a2·2^128 +
a3·2^192 encoding shared by val/inc materializers.
All materializers short-circuit to the all-zero shape when `events`
is empty — same buffers the inert Stage45SparseTraceWitness already
attaches for FR-inactive programs (muldiv, sha2, etc.). Stage 4/5 FR
sumchecks remain trivially satisfied in that path.
6 new unit tests in field_reg::tests cover:
- empty replay → zero buffers
- frs1_ra one-hot at the bytecode-marked read cycle
- frd_wa one-hot at the event cycle/slot
- field_reg_val tracking running state across 2 writes to slot 5
- frd_inc = post - pre across consecutive writes to the same slot
- limbs_to_field little-endian assembly
jolt-prover) lands in follow-up commits along with the tracer-event
flow (currently `_field_reg_events` is captured but discarded in
tracer/src/execution_backend.rs:41).
Gates: jolt-witness 30/30 nextest green, muldiv host green, clippy
clean on jolt-witness/jolt-r1cs/jolt-kernels/bolt.
Splits the two shared zero buffers (fr_zeros_k_t, fr_zeros_t) into the five FR Twist polynomials that Stage 4 FieldRegRW and Stage 5 FieldRegValEvaluation actually consume: - field_reg_val: K_FR × T running register state - frs1_ra / frs2_ra: K_FR × T one-hot reads - frd_wa: K_FR × T one-hot writes - frd_inc: T-length write deltas Defaults all five to zero — same shape Stage 4/5 sumchecks see today for FR-inactive programs. Callers carrying a FieldRegEvent stream opt into materialization via the new `Stage45SparseTraceWitness::with_field_reg_replay(replay)` builder, which dispatches into the materializer methods landed in the previous commit. The builder is safe to call unconditionally — if replay.events is empty the materializers still return zero shapes. Downstream slice borrows in `Stage4ProverInputs::with_stage45_sparse_trace_witness` and `Stage5ProverInputs::with_stage45_sparse_trace_witness` now point at the per-poly buffers instead of the merged zero buffer. Gates: jolt-witness 30/30 nextest green, muldiv host green, clippy clean on jolt-witness/jolt-r1cs/jolt-kernels/bolt. No commitment_ir deltas (the witness shape change is internal to the prover path).
Threads tracer-emitted FieldRegEvents end-to-end into the FR Twist
materializers landed in the previous two commits. For FR-active
programs (poseidon2-sdk et al), Stage 4 FieldRegRW and Stage 5
FieldRegValEvaluation now see materialized FR polynomials instead of
the all-zero shape.
Step 1 — return FR events from Program::trace:
- jolt-core/src/host/program.rs: Program::trace now returns a 5-tuple
(LazyTraceIterator, Vec<Cycle>, Memory, JoltDevice,
Vec<tracer::emulator::cpu::FieldRegEvent>) — the events that were
previously captured as `_field_reg_events` and discarded.
- jolt-sdk/macros/src/lib.rs: guest_trace 5-tuple destructure → 6-tuple
(the macro pulled events implicitly through tracer::trace).
- jolt-core/src/zkvm/prover.rs + benches: 16 callsites widened to
ignore the new `_field_reg_events` slot.
Step 2 — derive FrCycleBytecode from the trace:
- crates/jolt-host/src/lib.rs::fr_bytecode_from_trace walks the trace
rows and pattern-matches JoltInstructionKind::{FieldOp, FieldAssertEq,
FieldMov, FieldSLL64/128/192} to populate reads_frs1/reads_frs2 +
frs1/frs2/frd slot indices. NormalizedInstruction doesn't carry the
FieldOp funct3 so FMUL/FADD/FSUB/FINV all read as (true, true) — an
overstatement on FINV's frs2_ra one-hot, but Poseidon2 doesn't use
FINV so the approximation is safe for the upcoming SDK example.
- crates/jolt-host/src/lib.rs::convert_fr_events bridges the tracer
event shape (cycle_index, slot, old, new) to the jolt-witness shape
(cycle, frd, rd_post, rd_written=true). The materializers only need
frd / rd_post / rd_written; other fields stay default.
Step 3 — attach FieldRegReplay to Stage 4/5 witness:
- crates/jolt-host/src/lib.rs::assemble_and_prove: builds a
FieldRegReplay (padded bytecode to trace_length + converted events),
then constructs Stage45SparseTraceWitness once and chains
.with_field_reg_replay(&replay) onto it. Switches the per-stage
callers from prove_stage4/5_with_trace_witness_inputs (which build
their own inert witness internally) to prove_stage4/5_with_witness_inputs
(which accept the pre-built witness).
- crates/jolt-prover/src/prover.rs + crates/bolt/.../artifacts.rs:
JoltProverWitnessInputs gains a `field_reg_replay: Option<&FieldRegReplay>`
field. When attached, `prove_jolt_with_witness_inputs` applies the
same `.with_field_reg_replay(replay)` chain after the inert witness
is built. Default None preserves the FR-inactive path for callers
that don't carry FR events (jolt-equivalence's bolt_oracle gets a
field_reg_replay: None).
Goldens regenerated; no fixture counts changed (the witness shape
change is internal to the prover path — FR sumchecks already had the
right oracle wiring from this work/4c.2).
Gates: jolt-witness 30/30 nextest green, muldiv host green (FR

commit 11fd625 — coming in next commit.
SDK example with high-level Fr newtype + 2-pass advice mechanism) The SDK example port is blocked on porting the 2-pass `compute_advice` machinery in jolt-inlines/bn254-fr/src/sdk.rs from source commit 11fd625 (485 LOC vs current 315 LOC) — that's its own ~170 LOC of work involving VirtualHostIO + ADVICE_LD + FieldAssertEq binding.
Poseidon2 SDK example. The proof currently fails at Stage 4 FieldRegRW with an input-claim mismatch — the final synchronization between the materialized FR Twist polys and the R1CS V_FIELD_RS1/RS2/RD_WRITE_VALUE columns. Every other layer (ELF decode, 2-pass advice tape, FR event flow, witness build) is operational. What this commit lands: 1. **High-level Fr newtype** (`jolt-inlines/bn254-fr/src/sdk.rs`, 485 LOC verbatim from `feat/fr-coprocessor-v2@11fd625`): - `Fr { limbs: [u64; 4] }` with `add` / `sub` / `mul` / `inverse` methods that dispatch on cfg: - `host`: directly via `ark_bn254::Fr` - `compute_advice` (RISC-V Pass-1): compute via ark + write 4 result limbs to advice tape via `VirtualHostIO` - default RISC-V (Pass-2): emit 7-cycle Horner-load sequence (FieldMov + FieldSLL64/128/192 + FieldAdd) for each operand, one FieldOp cycle, then 4 × ADVICE_LD + 7-cycle reconstruction + FieldAssertEq to bind the FieldOp output to the advice limbs. - New `encode.rs` module (225 LOC) with `encode_fmul` / `encode_fadd` / `encode_field_mov` / `encode_field_sll64/128/192` / `encode_field_assert_eq` const fns used by the asm-emitting paths. - New `compute_advice` cargo feature gates the ark imports. 2. **Two-pass build/trace plumbing** (`jolt-core/src/host/program.rs`): `Program::trace` now runs the `elf_compute_advice` ELF first to populate the advice tape via VirtualHostIO writes, then traces the regular ELF with that tape seeded so each ADVICE_LD lands a precomputed FR limb. Programs without an advice ELF stay on the single-pass path. Already-built ELF-pair workflow from `compile_*` macro is unchanged. 3. **ELF decoder routing for FR opcodes** (`crates/jolt-program/src/image/decode.rs`): Custom-0 opcode 0x0B was conflated with `Inline` (opcode 0x2B). Split the dispatch so 0x0B routes through a new `decode_field_op_or_inline` helper that classifies on funct7/funct3: - funct7 = 0x40, funct3 ∈ {0x02..=0x05} → `FieldOp` (FMUL/FADD/FSUB/FINV) - funct7 = 0x40, funct3 = 0x06 → `FieldAssertEq` - funct7 = 0x40, funct3 = 0x07 → `FieldMov` - funct7 = 0x41, funct3 ∈ {0, 1, 2} → `FieldSLL{64,128,192}` - Anything else falls back to Inline (for SHA3/keccak/etc inlines). Added FR variants to `uses_r_format` so operands decode as R-type (frd/frs1/frs2 in the rd/rs1/rs2 fields). 4. **R1CS witness post-pass** (`crates/jolt-host/src/lib.rs`): `extract_trace_rows` leaves V_FIELD_RS1/RS2/RD_WRITE_VALUE at zero; Stage 3 FieldRegClaimReduction reads those columns and Stage 4 FieldRegRW reconciles against the materialized FR polys. `populate_r1cs_fr_slots` walks the `FieldRegReplay` running state to set rs1_pre / rs2_pre / rd_post on each FR-active cycle, encoded via `limbs_to_field`. Same iteration order as the materializer. 5. **bn254-fr-poseidon2-sdk example** (~1,400 LOC guest verbatim from source `11fd62596` + macro adapted to `backend = "modular"` and `max_trace_length` clamped to 2^18 for the goldens-baked fixture). Known remaining: Stage 4 input-claim mismatch despite all 4 sides (R1CS V_FIELD_RS1/RS2/RD_WRITE, materializer field_reg_val/frs1_ra/ frs2_ra/frd_wa/frd_inc) being computed from the same FieldRegEvent + FrCycleBytecode source. Likely a subtle polynomial-ordering or endianness slip in the materializer or the post-pass. The fix lands in a follow-up; the foundational machinery (2-pass, decoder, Fr newtype, witness wiring) is in place. Gates: muldiv host green, clippy clean on the full FR stack, bolt commitment_ir goldens regenerate clean (no fixture deltas).
(FieldRs1Value/FieldRs2Value/FieldRdWriteValue) used to hardcode `Stage1Rv64Scalar::U64(0)` (this work placeholder, source comment said "populated when this work wires up the FR Twist witness path"). Stage 3 FieldRegClaimReduction reads those openings, batches them with γ, and publishes the result as Stage 4's input_claim. With the oracle stub returning 0 unconditionally, Stage 4 saw input_claim = 0 while the materialized FR Twist polys summed to a non-zero value — instant "stage4 relation input claim mismatch" at round 0 of the FR RW sumcheck. Wired up end-to-end so the oracle reads real FR slot values from a per-cycle source: - `Stage1Rv64Scalar::Fr(Fr)` variant with `fmadd_rv64_scalar` handling via `add_positive_field(field * fr_value)` (full-width 256-bit multiply rather than going through the 128-bit-bounded limb accumulator path). - `Stage1Rv64Cycle::field_rs1 / field_rs2 / field_rd: [u64; 4]` natural-form FR slot snapshots; defaulted to `[0; 4]` in the constructor and in `padding()`. - `FieldRs1Value`/`FieldRs2Value`/`FieldRdWriteValue` oracles' `scalar()` now returns `Fr(field_reg_limbs_to_fr(row.field_*))` instead of `U64(0)`. Plus the post-pass that fills those fields: - `populate_fr_cycle_fields` in jolt-host walks the `FieldRegReplay` running state once and stamps both `Stage1Rv64Cycle.field_*` (for Stage 1 outer's matrix-mul accumulator + the virtual-oracle MLE evaluator) and `Stage3Cycle.field_*` + `is_field_op` (for Stage 3's factor population). Same iteration order as the Stage 4 materializer in `Stage45SparseTraceWitness::with_field_reg_replay`, so all four consumers (R1CS witness, Stage 1 cycles, Stage 3 cycles, Stage 4 materializer) see consistent pre/post values per cycle. Result: `cargo run --release -p bn254-fr-poseidon2-sdk` now proves + verifies with `valid: true` in ~3.1 s prove / ~0.2 s verify, exercising the full FR coprocessor through Stage 4 FieldRegRW + Stage 5 FieldRegValEvaluation against the materialized FR Twist polynomials from 16,123 FieldRegEvents over 35,890 trace cycles. Gates: muldiv host green (no FR events → all FR machinery short- circuits to zero shape), jolt-witness 30/30, bolt commitment_ir goldens regenerate clean, clippy clean on the full FR stack.
…t C8 FINV(0) panic Host-side Stage45SparseTraceWitness now carries just the sparse FieldRegReplay (events + bytecode, ~few KB) instead of five K_FR×T dense Fr buffers (~520 MB at log_T=20): - field_reg_val, frs1_ra, frs2_ra, frd_wa, frd_inc The kernel still materializes these K_FR×T factors for the duration of Stage 4 RW / Stage 5 ValEval sumcheck via the existing `replay.materialize_*` helpers, then drops them. This shifts the peak from steady-state host residency to transient kernel scope. Stage 5 frd_wa_at_field_reg_address is now genuinely sparse: it walks `replay.events` directly and accumulates `address_eq[ev.frd]` into the writing cycles, avoiding the K_FR×T frd_wa intermediate. Note: kernel-side `eq_cycle_expanded` and `frd_inc_expanded` in `field_reg_rw_state` still duplicate K_FR copies of T-vectors — eliminating those requires a `SparseFieldRegState` analogous to `SparseRegistersState<F>` (stage4.rs:1782) with its own `bind_sparse_*` / `*_split_round_coefficients`. Tracked as follow-up. Audit C8 (FINV(0) bypass): tracer::FieldOp now panics on `0⁻¹` rather than silently filling zero. The SDK's `Fr::inverse() -> Option<Fr>` already guards the SDK path; this catches inline-asm callers that bypass the SDK and would otherwise produce a non-provable trace that fails inside Stage 4 RW. Validation: - bn254-fr-poseidon2-sdk e2e proves+verifies (exit 0) - jolt-witness: 30/30 tests pass - jolt-kernels: 56/56 tests pass - cargo check across jolt-host/kernels/witness/prover/core clean
…on in Stage 4 RW
Ports the sparse cycle-major matrix pattern from feat/fr-coprocessor-v2's
`field_registers.rs` (on refactor/crates) into the modular-sdk's kernel
layout, mirroring the existing `SparseRegistersState<F>` template in
this same file. The FR variant differs in three ways:
1. `prev_val` / `next_val` are field elements (Fr is 254-bit; the
integer-register u64 memory optimisation doesn't apply).
2. `K_FR = 16` (4 address bits) vs `REGISTER_COUNT = 128`.
3. Driven by `FieldRegReplay` (per-cycle bytecode + sparse event
stream) rather than `Stage4RegisterAccess`. Reads come from
`bytecode[cycle].reads_frs1`/`reads_frs2`; writes come from
`event.rd_written` + `event.rd_post`.
Sparse round_poly walks at most `3 × #FR_events` entries (sorted by
row, then col within each row) instead of expanding `K_FR × T`
factors. For Poseidon2-SDK at log_T=18 this is roughly 9K entries
vs the prior 4M dense materialization — a ~440× reduction in the
hot-loop working set, plus the kernel-side transient peak drops
from ~3 GB down to a few MB.
Stage 4 final claim recovery follows the registers playbook:
- Combine `γ · frs1_ra + γ² · frs2_ra` into a single `read_ra`
coefficient per entry; track frs2 reads separately as `(row,
col)` pairs.
- At `trace_len == 1`, materialize a K_FR-sized DenseStage4State
with the 3-term combined form (eq · frd_wa · val + eq · frd_wa
· inc + eq · read_ra · val) and let it drive the remaining
address-axis rounds.
- In `final_evals`, recover `frs1_ra = (read_ra - γ²·frs2_ra) ·
γ⁻¹`. Debug-builds assert the recovered combined value matches.
`field_reg_dense_state` is removed; FR Stage 4 RW now has no dense
path. `Stage5FieldRegValWitness` already consumed the sparse replay
in the prior commit, so Stage 5 needs no further change.

Hardening from correctness audit (H3 + H4): `SparseFieldRegState::new` now asserts FR events are strictly increasing by cycle. The sparse round-poly pairs entries by `row / 2` and assumes monotone row ordering; duplicate or out-of-order events would silently mis-pair during binding. The host's `convert_fr_events` is the only producer today and emits in trace order, so this is defense-in-depth against a future producer regression.

…registers spec The port plan was the precursor — a forward-looking design doc. Now captures the shipped state: 16 × 256-bit FR registers, 9 RISC-V instructions (FMUL/FADD/FSUB/FINV/FAssertEq + FieldMov + 3× FieldSLL), 3-stage FR Twist sumcheck (Stage 3 ClaimReduction → Stage 4 RW → Stage 5 ValEvaluation), sparse cycle-major matrix in SparseFieldRegState, and the host-side replay plumbing. Format follows specs/TEMPLATE.md — Goal / Invariants / Non-Goals / Acceptance / Testing Strategy. File:line citations throughout. Includes a small "open follow-ups" section listing the remaining T-sized vectors (frd_inc, frd_wa_at_address, bytecode), gated FR oracle paths (FieldRegInc/FieldRegRa_*), ZK BlindFold integration, and pinned-slot SDK API as known gaps — not as implementation commitments.
…R1CS rows Closes the soundness gap from commit 559bcc36f6 (this work) where FMUL and FINV R1CS rows were tagged PLACEHOLDER and explicitly relied on a downstream arithmetic check that never got written. The audit (3 subagents) confirmed the prover could produce arbitrary FR values from FMUL/FINV cycles as long as they were internally consistent — the existing FR Twist proves memory consistency, not arithmetic. Mirrors the elegant pattern from feat/fr-coprocessor-v2's rows 21-26: route FR operands through the canonical product gate already enforced unconditionally in row 36 (`V_LEFT_INSTRUCTION_INPUT × V_RIGHT_INSTRUCTION_INPUT = V_PRODUCT`). All new rows are degree-2 and reuse existing R1CS slots — no new sumcheck, no new commitments, no new witness columns. **Part 1 — split FieldOp → 4 instruction kinds** `FieldOp` was a single JoltInstructionKind whose runtime funct3 selected FMUL/ FADD/FSUB/FINV. The macro-generated static circuit_flags() was therefore empty, making `V_FLAG_IS_FIELD_MUL/ADD/SUB/INV` always-zero in the committed bytecode and rendering rows 19/20/26/27 vacuous. Split into four kinds — `FieldMul`, `FieldAdd`, `FieldSub`, `FieldInv` — each with `circuit flags: [IsFieldX]`. - crates/jolt-riscv: 4 new instruction files + Instruction enum/conversion arms + for_each_instruction_kind + has_side_effects + impl_jolt_instructions_flags. - tracer: 4 new instruction files (declare_riscv_instr! with funct3-specific MATCH), shared field_arith_common.rs for Fr↔limbs + the per-cycle trace body. Decoder dispatches funct3 → distinct kind at line 1102 in instruction/mod.rs. - jolt-program decode: per-funct3 SourceInstructionKind mapping. - jolt-host fr_bytecode_from_trace: per-kind read flags. FINV no longer overstates `reads_frs2 = true` (fixes audit finding C-A3). **Part 2 — FMUL/FINV R1CS rows (6 new degree-2 rows)** crates/jolt-r1cs/src/constraints/rv64.rs rows 26-31: - FMUL: IsFieldMul · (LeftInput − FieldRs1) = 0; IsFieldMul · (RightInput − FieldRs2) = 0; IsFieldMul · (Product − FieldRd) = 0. Combined with the unconditional row 36 `Left × Right = Product`, this enforces `FieldRs1 · FieldRs2 = FieldRd` natively. - FINV: same shape but Right = FieldRd (advice-supplied inverse), Product = 1. Row 36 then forces `Rs1 · Rd = 1`, so `Rd = Rs1⁻¹`. Wrong advice makes the product gate unsatisfiable — same forgery-resistance trick the codebase uses for division-with-advice. NUM_EQ_CONSTRAINTS: 32 → 36; NUM_CONSTRAINTS_PER_CYCLE: 35 → 39. **Part 3 — witness population** crates/jolt-host/src/lib.rs::populate_r1cs_fr_slots: on FMUL/FINV cycles also populate V_LEFT_INSTRUCTION_INPUT, V_RIGHT_INSTRUCTION_INPUT, V_PRODUCT, and the V_LEFT/RIGHT_LOOKUP_OPERAND slots forced by rows 6 and 10 on non-integer arithmetic cycles. Per-cycle FMUL/FINV discrimination uses `trace[c].instruction.instruction_kind`, which now reflects funct3 after Part 1. **Part 4 — golden regen + validation** - bn254-fr-poseidon2-sdk e2e proves+verifies; valid: true (prove 2.76s). - jolt-witness + jolt-kernels + jolt-riscv + jolt-r1cs: 109/109 tests pass. - bolt commitment_ir: 53/53 tests pass (goldens regenerated for the 3-constraint count bump). - clippy clean across tracer/jolt-riscv/jolt-r1cs/jolt-program/jolt-witness/ jolt-kernels/jolt-host/jolt-prover. - Also fixed an unrelated `replay.clone()` regression in the Bolt artifact prover.rs template (caught by the uniform-crate-layout test). Audit response coverage: - C-A1 (FMUL/FINV not arithmetically constrained): CLOSED. - C-A3 (FINV reads_frs2 overstatement): CLOSED. - C-A2/C-A4 (FR init state + event/bytecode sync) still open; tracked for follow-up.
… semantics
Addresses the 4 LOW findings from the post-fix audit:
1. rv64.rs header docstring + row-block comment said rows are 0-31 / 32-35
("Until this work wires FieldReg witness..."). Now correctly states 0-35 /
36-38 and references the per-kind `circuit flags: [IsFieldX]` declarations.
2. FMUL/FINV row block comments at rv64.rs:530, :566 said "row 32" for the
product gate — corrected to "row 36" after the FieldOp split renumbering.
3. `convert_fr_events` in jolt-host hardcoded `rd_written: true`. Now derives
from `new != old`. FieldAssertEq (slot = frs1, value unchanged) naturally
gets `rd_written = false` and stays out of the FR Twist's write-side
accounting — the only meaningful semantic change.
4. tracer/src/instruction/field_assert_eq.rs:114 had `slot: frs1` with no
explanation. Added a comment explaining FAssertEq has no destination
register (FormatR.rd reserved) and that `old == new` propagates
`rd_written = false` downstream.
No R1CS/protocol changes; bn254-fr-poseidon2-sdk e2e still proves+verifies
(prove 2.63s, valid: true). C-A2 (FR init state) and C-A4 (event/bytecode
sync) remain open MEDIUM, tracked for the next pass.
C-A2 from the security audit asked: where is the FR register file's initial
state constrained to zero? An exploration of how integer registers handle the
same question revealed there is no explicit init constraint for either —
both use the same algebraic mechanism, and RAM is the outlier (because ELF
init values aren't all zero).
The mechanism: Stage 5 FieldRegValEvaluation proves
FieldRegVal(addr, t) = Σ_j FrdInc(j) · FrdWa(addr, j) · lt(t, j)
At t = 0 the lt(0, j) MLE is identically zero, so the sum is empty and the
sumcheck forces FieldRegVal(addr, 0) = 0 for every address. A malicious
prover claiming any non-zero init would fail this check. Mirrors
registers_val_evaluation_state at stage5.rs:2853; RAM differs because it
binds against a precomputed-public RamValInit opening (RAM init = ELF
image, not all zero).
Changes:
- crates/jolt-kernels/src/stage4.rs: doc comment at SparseFieldRegState::new
explaining the lt-truncation init anchor.
- crates/jolt-kernels/src/stage5.rs: doc comment on
`field_reg_val_evaluation_state` calling out the dual role of the sumcheck
(consistency + init-state pin).
- specs/native-field-registers.md: expanded the "Initial FR state is zero"
invariant to cite the lt-truncation mechanism, the analog in integer
registers, and the RAM contrast.
No code/protocol changes; pure documentation. C-A2 closed (false-positive
soundness alarm; mechanism already in place). C-A4 (event/bytecode sync)
remains open MEDIUM as before.
…spec
Cleans references to internal phase milestones (this work-5d) and to the
deleted port-plan spec that were embedded in comments / docstrings during
the FR coprocessor build-out. The phase numbering was project-internal
journaling; readers of the source today don't need to know about it, and
the original port-plan doc is gone.
Touched:
- crates/bolt/src/protocols/jolt/params.rs — replaced "this work" / "this work"
references with the actual gating condition (`field_reg_d > 0`).
- crates/jolt-kernels/src/trace.rs — generic comment on the FR-inert
default for `FieldRegInc` on non-FR cycles.
- crates/jolt-r1cs/src/constraints/rv64.rs — Fr operand slots now
documented as bound to Stage 4 FieldRegRW directly.
- crates/jolt-witness/src/lib.rs — `CycleInput::PADDING` comment generalised.
- specs/native-field-registers.md — dropped the "five-phase port plan"
framing and the references to the deleted `fr-v2-port-plan.md`.
No code/protocol changes.
…ed FR Twist
Closes the soundness gap where a malicious prover could smuggle wrong FR
arithmetic by dropping FR events for cycles whose bytecode says FieldMul
etc. — leaving FrRs1Ra/FrRs2Ra/FrdWa = 0 at the bound point while R1CS
rows accept V_FIELD_RS1/RS2/RD = 0 (trivially: 0·0 = 0 = 0).
The fix has two layers:
1. **Bytecode-anchored FR slot indicators** (extends v2 audit C7).
`FrCycleBytecode` gains a `writes_frd: bool` field. Stage 4 FR Twist
sparse setup, Stage 5 `frd_wa_at_field_reg_address`, and the host R1CS
witness populators (`populate_r1cs_fr_slots`,
`populate_fr_cycle_fields`) all source the write slot from `bc.frd`
(committed via bytecode preprocessing) rather than `event.frd`
(uncommitted prover input). Both reads and writes gate on `bc.{reads_frs1,
reads_frs2, writes_frd}` alone — not `event.rd_written` — so the FR Twist
polynomials reflect every bytecode-active FR cycle, regardless of
whether the event sets `rd_written`. When new == old (rare new==old
case), `FrdInc[j] = 0` keeps FieldRegVal accumulation unchanged.
2. **Stage 6 bytecode-RAF FR binding** (the new sumcheck-level fix).
`Stage6BytecodeEntry` is extended with `{frd, frs1, frs2, reads_frs1,
reads_frs2, writes_frd}` fields, derived in `stage6_bytecode_entries`
from FR-active instruction kinds. The Stage 6 bytecode-RAF formula
gains a 6th stage `stage_fr` with its own FR Twist cycle point
(`stage6.input.stage4.field_reg_rw.FrRs1Ra` suffix) and a fresh
`stage_fr_gamma` batching scalar. Per-entry value contributes
`γ_fr⁰·writes_frd·register_eq(frd, r_addr_fr) + γ_fr¹·reads_frs1·
register_eq(frs1, r_addr_fr) + γ_fr²·reads_frs2·register_eq(frs2,
r_addr_fr)`. Weighted by γ⁵ in the outer bytecode-RAF formula, summed
over (k_bc, j_cycle) with `Ra_bc(k, j)·eq(stage_cycle_fr, j)` it
reproduces the FR Twist's combined opening evaluation for honest
provers. For malicious "drop event" attacks, the bytecode-derived
value is non-zero while the FR Twist's opening is 0 → Schwartz-Zippel
rejects with overwhelming probability.
`Stage6BytecodeEntry` field propagation: jolt-witness, jolt-kernels,
jolt-prover, jolt-verifier, Bolt emit templates, and the verifier-common
template all carry the new FR fields through. The bytecode-RAF claim
formula picks up three new terms (FrdWa/FrRs1Ra/FrRs2Ra openings) and
one new transcript squeeze (`stage_fr_gamma`); Bolt MLIR codegen
(`phases/stage6.rs`) and goldens regenerated accordingly. Bolt
`commitment_ir` opening_inputs count goes 91 → 94; transcript_squeezes
9 → 10; steps 10 → 11.
Validation:
- 81/81 jolt-witness + jolt-kernels unit tests pass.
- 53/53 bolt commitment_ir tests pass after JOLT_UPDATE_GOLDENS=1 regen.
- bn254-fr-poseidon2-sdk e2e (modular prove + verify) passes end-to-end.
- clippy clean on jolt-witness, jolt-kernels, jolt-host, jolt-prover,
jolt-verifier.
Perf: adds one extra T-cycle stage_factor accumulation (negligible vs
existing 5 stage_factors), 3 extra opening evaluations folded into the
existing batched Stage 8 opening (zero PCS overhead), and one extra
transcript squeeze. Estimated <1% prove-time overhead.
…ay-event rejection, sparse-state unit tests - Add `FIELD_REG_ADDR_MASK` constant; replace 10 literal `& 0xF` sites across jolt-witness::field_reg and jolt-host (fr_bytecode_from_trace, populate_r1cs_fr_slots, populate_fr_cycle_fields). - Add `STAGE67_BYTECODE_STAGE_COUNT = 6` constant in jolt-verifier and the bolt template; replace 6 magic `; 6]` array sizes mirroring the prover's `BYTECODE_READ_RAF_STAGE_COUNT`. - Stage 5 `frd_wa_at_field_reg_address`: add `is_power_of_two` precondition matching the Stage 4 sparse guard. - Stage 4 `SparseFieldRegState::new`: reject events whose bytecode row has no FR access flag set (was silently dropped — defense-in-depth against tracer/preprocessing classification drift). - Refresh stale doc comments on `Stage4FieldRegWitness` and `Stage5FieldRegValWitness` that claimed K_FR × T materialization; the sparse path is the only path on this branch. - Add 7 FR-Twist unit tests (`stage4::tests::field_reg`) that exercise sparse-state population, alias coalescing, monotonic-event enforcement, power-of-two address space, bytecode-mismatch rejection, and Stage 4 ↔ Stage 5 FrdWa agreement on honest replays + asymmetry on event-dropped replays (the soundness path Stage 6's anchor relies on).
…elper Replace the two open-coded match statements (host-side `fr_bytecode_from_trace`, kernel-side `stage6_bytecode_entries`) with a single canonical `JoltInstructionKind::fr_access_flags()` helper. The prior duplication was the path to silent drift between the Stage 4 FR Twist's bytecode flags and the Stage 6 bytecode-RAF anchor's flags — a LOW-severity defense-in-depth gap surfaced by the post-merge audit. Also routes the remaining `& 0xF` in `stage6_bytecode_entries` through the new `FIELD_REG_ADDR_MASK` constant. Adds `fr_access_flags_match_per_kind_contract` unit test in jolt-riscv that pins the per-kind flag table so any future change to FR instruction semantics must explicitly update both the helper and the test.
…idon2 host with --backend flag Two prior examples — `bn254-fr-poseidon2-sdk` (FR coprocessor via the inline SDK) and `bn254-fr-poseidon2-arkworks` (software ark_bn254::Fr baseline) — duplicated a host binary each while differing only in which guest crate they linked. The audit flagged the `-sdk` suffix as miscategorized (every example "uses an SDK") and the `-arkworks` suffix as a dependency name, not a role. Collapse to one `examples/bn254-poseidon2/` host crate that takes `--backend inline|native` and dispatches to the inline-guest or native-guest sub-crate accordingly. Drop the redundant `-fr` segment (BN254 + Poseidon2 already implies the scalar field) so the user- facing crate name and CLI usage stay short: cargo run -p bn254-poseidon2 -- --backend inline # FR coprocessor (default) cargo run -p bn254-poseidon2 -- --backend native # software ark Fr baseline Function names follow: - `fr_poseidon2_sdk` → `bn254_poseidon2_inline` - `fr_poseidon2_arkworks` → `bn254_poseidon2_native` Both backends prove + verify cleanly through the unified host driver (2.87 s inline / 3.63 s native at log_T = 18, in line with prior standalone measurements).
… share `FieldRegReplay::materialize_frd_inc::<F>()` walks the full trace (O(T) cycles + per-FR-event Fr conversion) to produce a T-sized increment polynomial. Previously called twice — once inside Stage 4 `SparseFieldRegState::new` and once inside Stage 5's `field_reg_val_evaluation_state` — even though both stages consume the same vector. Move the materialization into `Stage45SparseTraceWitness::with_field_reg_replay` so it runs once per proof. Stage 4's `SparseFieldRegState::new` and Stage 5's val-evaluation builder now clone-from-slice into their own mutable working buffers (each stage binds the polynomial in place during sumcheck rounds, so the clones are unavoidable). Net work: 1 materialize + 2 clones instead of 2 materializes. Impact scales with T. At log_T = 18 (Poseidon2 example) the win is sub-millisecond and invisible against run-to-run noise. At production T = 2^30 the saved materialize is on the order of tens of seconds (T-cycle scan + per-event `limbs_to_field` calls), against memcpy- bounded clones — meaningful enough to pay back the +24 LOC complexity. Threads `F` generic through `Stage4FieldRegWitness` and `Stage5FieldRegValWitness` (previously `<'a>` only). The kernel fallback path (empty `frd_inc_source`) keeps the old materialize- locally behavior for unit tests that bypass the shared witness.
…_chunk_by
Brings the FR Twist hot loop to parity with the integer Twist's
parallelization (commit 2b5a... era). Both paths previously used the
same `DENSE_BIND_PAR_THRESHOLD` gate; only the integer side actually
shelled out to Rayon. FR was a single-threaded `while`-loop, which
becomes a prover-time bottleneck at production trace lengths where
FR-active entries scale linearly with T (Poseidon2-class workloads
emit ~3 entries per FR-active cycle; at T=2^30 with high FR density
that's ~10^9 entries × log T sumcheck rounds on one core).
Two hot paths gain parallelism:
1. `sparse_field_reg_split_round_coefficients` — split into
`_low_round` / `_high_round` mirroring the integer side. Each
shells out to `par_chunk_by` with the appropriate predicate
(outer x_out chunking for low rounds, pair-level for high rounds)
and reduces per-chunk accumulators. Helpers
`accumulate_sparse_field_reg_{low_outer_chunk, row_pair_chunk,
pair_at_cursor}` factor the per-pair body so it can be invoked
from both serial and parallel code paths.
2. `bind_sparse_field_reg_entries_into` — switches to the same
`pair_ranges` → `bound_lengths` → `spare_capacity_mut` slicing →
parallel per-pair bind pattern the integer Twist uses. Adds
helpers `sparse_field_reg_pair_ranges`,
`sparse_field_reg_row_pair_bound_len`,
`bind_sparse_field_reg_row_pair_into` (writes into
`&mut [MaybeUninit<…>]`), and `bind_sparse_field_reg_entry_pair`.
Sequential `bind_sparse_field_reg_entries_sequential_into` retains
the prior behavior for sub-threshold entry counts.
Below `DENSE_BIND_PAR_THRESHOLD` (sub-thousand entries — Poseidon2 at
log_T=16 sits well below) the sequential path runs and behavior is
byte-identical to the pre-change kernel. Above threshold (production
shapes) the parallel path engages. Full kernels test suite + Poseidon2
end-to-end prove + verify stay green; no functional change.
Single FR spec, cleaned for the as-shipped state: - Drop the internal "Execution" section (early-sketches notes, originally-planned helpers) — milestone history that doesn't belong in a design doc. - Drop follow-ups that are now done (the `stage4_field_reg_rw_proves_synthetic_events` test landed; replaced with the actual `stage4::tests::field_reg` coverage in the testing section). - Add the Stage 6 bytecode-RAF anchor as a first-class invariant and architecture step (`stage_fr = γ_fr·writes_frd·register_eq(frd) + γ_fr²·reads_frs1·register_eq(frs1) + γ_fr³·reads_frs2·register_eq(frs2)`) — this is the load-bearing drop-event soundness mechanism and was missing from the previous version. - Document the shared classifier `JoltInstructionKind::fr_access_flags` and the `FIELD_REG_ADDR_MASK` / `STAGE67_BYTECODE_STAGE_COUNT` constants that replace the prior open-coded literals. - Reflect the cached `Stage45SparseTraceWitness.fr_frd_inc` (Stage 4 and Stage 5 share the single materialization) and the Rayon parallel path in Stage 4 round-poly + bind. - Reframe the generalization non-goal as "BN254 Fr only by default, but the Stage 3/4/5 kernels are F-generic — see follow-up 5 for the pinned bits that block adding a second native-aligned field". - Tighten file:line citations to module-level references (less rot). Net 207 → ~98 lines smaller / ~109 lines added; same length, less internal history, more design fidelity.
…uting
Two accuracy gaps in the previous spec revision:
1. ISA description treated `FieldOp` as a single `JoltInstructionKind`
variant gated on funct3. The actual implementation splits into four
distinct variants — `FieldMul`, `FieldAdd`, `FieldSub`, `FieldInv` —
so the R1CS / sumcheck layers route per-kind constraints without
re-decoding funct3. Update the ISA bullet to enumerate the variants
and note the rationale for the split.
2. The R1CS architecture bullet listed "13 new eq-constraint rows"
without describing the FMUL/FINV product-gate routing. Rows 26–31
bind Fr operands through the canonical `V_LEFT × V_RIGHT = V_PRODUCT`
gate at row 36 (FMUL: V_LEFT=RS1, V_RIGHT=RS2, V_PRODUCT=RD;
FINV: V_LEFT=RS1, V_RIGHT=RD, V_PRODUCT=1). FieldAdd/FieldSub use
direct linear rows; FieldMov / FieldSLL{64,128,192} bind
`V_FIELD_RD = V_RS1_VALUE · 2^k`. Document all three.
Also fix `field_op.rs` reference (was renamed to `field_inv.rs` post-
split) and the SDK pass-2 description (replaces "1 FieldOp" with
"1 native FieldMul/Add/Sub/Inv").
- bn254-poseidon2 (host) doesn't import jolt-inlines-bn254-fr; the inline-guest sub-crate does. - jolt-inlines/bn254-fr no longer needs tracer as a dev-dep (no test in the crate uses it).
…checks The bolt verifier_cleanup test gate enforces (a) an allowlist of Jolt protocol symbol strings present in the checked-in generated verifier and its MLIR fixtures, and (b) a target LOC budget for the generated verifier surface. Both need to grow to account for the four FR sumcheck instances introduced by the BN254 Fr coprocessor work. Allowlist adds (alphabetic insertion): - jolt.stage3.field_reg_claim_reduction - jolt.stage4.field_reg_rw - jolt.stage4_field_reg_rw_domain - jolt.stage5.field_reg_val_evaluation LOC target: 6050 → 6250 (current verifier surface 6209 + ~40 headroom; covers the Stage 3/4/5/6 FR claim wiring without leaving slack for unintended growth). Also rephrases the STAGE67_BYTECODE_STAGE_COUNT doc comment to drop the literal "jolt_kernels::" substring (tripped the verifier's "non-audit role imports" rule against the verifier file containing references to the prover-side `jolt_kernels` path).
…iverge modular R1CS has 47 inputs (3 V_FIELD_* slots + 9 FR OpFlags atop the 35 jolt-core inputs) since commit 091f8f5. Stage 1 outer Spartan still matches jolt-core because the cross-stack test threads jolt-core shape (`fixture.stage1_outer_rv64_data`) into both provers. Stage 2 diverges because the modular prover commits its full 47-input shape; the resulting transcript state differs from jolt-core's at Stage 2's uniskip round 0. Mark `bolt_stage2_product_uniskip_real_muldiv_matches_jolt_core` and `bolt_stage2_batched_real_muldiv_self_parity` with `#[ignore]` and a reason citing the divergence root cause. Re-enable once either: - jolt-core is extended to mirror the FR R1CS columns, or - the cross-stack parity oracle moves to a modular-only fixture whose witness shape matches modular's prover. The third Stage 3 parity test (line 316) was already ignored upstream with a similar follow-up note. No prover/verifier behavior change.
Two CI regressions from the prior commit: 1. `common.rs` had two extra blank lines after the FR-trait block — introduced by the `jolt_kernels::` substring fix in 646e725 and not picked up because the fmt sweep ran before that edit. `cargo fmt` removes them. 2. `taplo fmt --check` is part of the rust workflow but wasn't run locally; the bn254-fr and tracer Cargo.toml files were not in taplo's canonical multi-line array form. `taplo fmt` rewrites the two affected `ark-bn254` dependency declarations.
Two more CI regressions: 1. `field_assert_eq_on_mismatched_values_panics` runs `cargo nextest run --release -p tracer` in CI, but the panic it asserts is a `debug_assert_eq!` (consistent with the `frs1`/`frs2` range checks beside it; soundness for FAssertEq is enforced in R1CS row 21, not the tracer trap). Release builds elide the assert, so the `#[should_panic]` test fails. Gate on `cfg(debug_assertions)` so it only runs where the assert actually fires. 2. The previous fmt fix (`f08803002`) removed two stale blank lines from the generated `crates/jolt-verifier/src/stages/common.rs` but not from its source template `crates/bolt/src/protocols/jolt/verifier_common.rs.template`. The `generated_jolt_artifacts_have_uniform_crate_layout_and_import_rules` test regenerates `common.rs` from the template and compares to the checked-in file; mismatch on the blank lines caused the failure. Sync the template to match the formatted output.

…R coprocessor benchmark The Poseidon2 example was the previous standard test workload for the BN254 Fr coprocessor, but the team flagged it as too domain-specific — its cycle profile is dominated by round-constant loads + MDS matmul structure that has nothing to do with generic Fr arithmetic. Replaces it with a clean equality-MLE evaluation workload that exercises a balanced mix of `Fr::mul / Fr::sub / Fr::add` against the coprocessor. Workload: `eq(r, x) = ∏ᵢ (rᵢ·xᵢ + (1−rᵢ)·(1−xᵢ))` for r, x ∈ Fr^32, generated deterministically from a `seed: u64` via a 2-word LCG that keeps the high limbs zero (so `Fr::from_limbs` and ark's `from_le_bytes_mod_order` represent the same logical field element). Op mix per run: 96 mul + 64 sub + 32 add = 192 Fr ops. K=32 is sized so the software-Fr native backend still fits within the goldens-baked 2^18 trace ceiling. Measurements (seed 0x5EEDC0DE): | Backend | guest_riscv_cycles | prove | verify | |---|---:|---:|---:| | inline (FR coprocessor) | 10,456 | 2.29 s | 0.17 s | | native (ark Montgomery) | 158,419 | 2.90 s | 0.17 s | ~15× cycle reduction from the FR coprocessor on this clean tight-chain workload. Outputs match exactly between backends; both proofs verify. Spec docs in `specs/native-field-registers.md` still reference the old example name — left alone since a separate followup will move Poseidon2 into the inline SDK proper.

Depends on #1535 (modular SDK). Stacked: this PR's base is
sagar/modular-sdk. GitHub will auto-rebase tomainwhen #1535 merges.Summary
Adds a BN254 Fr native-field coprocessor to the modular Jolt zkVM: a 16-slot Fr register file, 9 new RISC-V instructions (
FieldMul/FieldAdd/FieldSub/FieldInv/FieldAssertEq/FieldMov/FieldSLL{64,128,192}), three new sumcheck instances wired into the existing Twist register-checking pipeline (Stage 3FieldRegClaimReduction, Stage 4FieldRegRW, Stage 5FieldRegValEvaluation), and a Stage 6 bytecode-RAF anchor that closes the drop-event soundness gap by binding FR access to bytecode.Replaces software arkworks Fr arithmetic on RV with native FieldOp instructions whose constraint witness is bound natively to the Fr field. Validated on a Poseidon2 BN254 t=3 permutation example (
